V - __... -_ - DISTRICT MATTERS! RAIIN U-7 TRE WESTERN STATI&S,—Much has been read in the papers lately abotit the . Weat rains and floods in the Western States, e reports appear to be fvlly oonfirmed, in so far as the State Of Missouri is concerned, where it is feared farming operations will be seriouslv impeded, as the f0110wiDg ex. .tract taken from a private letter from a former Huronite, who has beeti-in Missouri for a number of years, shows. The writer says : 11 I presume you have read in the American papers of the - prevalence of rain in the Western States, Well, every paper I have seen has understated the facts.. The ,season is the worst I ,ever saw. We just commenced t.o plant corn the day before yesterday fMlay 21st], and have half our ground unplowed yet, it being so wet, we can't touch. it." _� — - FooT BALL.—The retum match between the Hurons and Galt foot ball clubo, was played here on Saturday last. The weather . . was not favorable, the frequent showers. of rain making it unpleas%nt both overhead and under foot. The grounds, also, were wet and slippery, and the players on either side could not possibly do their best. De- spite the unfavorable weather, however, the interest our citizens took in the match was well exemplified by the very large attend- ance, the fair sex being, if, anything, in the I majority. The match waa a very interest. ing one, there being, some splendid pla i ying douc-on both sides. The visitors, however, � proved too much for our boys, and came out victors by three goods to two. This defeat threw Seaforth out of the competition for the championship of the Western District, This honor is likely to be won by Galt- this - . — -+4— 0, A.f.. t, -A *h.

' Tim QumN's BiRTHDAY.—The Twenty- fourth passed ever very quietly in town. Nearly -every person who could got away left for some of the neizliboriniz towns and I villages, and the town was nearly deserted, only the old 11 hoine guard " being left be- hind to guard the interests of the place. The day waa not very agreeable, as'rain was threatening most of the time, and those who felt disposed and had the opportunity to go fishing or something else were afraid to ven. ture out lost they might got wet. The irre- ible small boy seemed to have the most pressi enjoyment, aff-there was a perfect fusilade of fire crackers kept up all day in all parts of the town. We notice that several of our town athletes distinguished themselves abroad. Messrs. A. C. Winter and J. 0. Rose carried everything before thern in the bicycle contest at Exeter ; Messrs. James Reid, R. Beattie and William ]laid Cline won, laurela and numerous. prizea in the ath- latic, sports at Mitchell, while Mr. R. Roach took &L good position in the Brusseli� races with " Gussie Pickard." There may have been othera who showed off to good adva L lit _ age in other placea, but we have not caught their names. On the whole, the day was I one of rest, recreation or pleasure to most - 1 - - : . peop �e. . � Ea-HONDVILLE NO -TIES. -70DO Of these epi- godes of domestic life showing the necessity of a wife to home comfort, and the terrible void caused by her absence, occurred in our I y. 'illage last week. An estimable lady, wish- ing toL Pay & short visit to some relatives, left her husband to keep house during the interval, well supplied, of course, with crea- ture comforts ; this he bravely promised to do, but found the solitude unbearable, and at the end of two day& closed up the house, and the next morning a " to let " might be seen, on the. corner Of it.

Glenn, of the gea� forth restaurant, was extinguishing a large hanging lamp in his sho'P,L preparatory to closingusp, theehain by which it wa;s sns- pended to the ceiling broke, and the lighted lamp fell down. In its descent it struck on the show -case and then fell in behind the counter. The Oil taking fire the whole plage q -was,in,flamesinamoment. Mr.Glenn dia- his: best to extinguish the flames, but all in - vain. So rapidly did the fire run through , the buildingthat Mrs. Glenn and the other members of the family, who had retired for the night, bad barely time to escape from the building in their night clothes. The alarm wait soon sounded and the firemen -were promptly on the spot, and in a surpris- ingly, short time there were four powerf ul streams of water being poured on to the flames. The building. in which the fire originated is in the centre of an old wooden block, a veritable fire trap, and, besides this, the in-terior of most of the buildings were d -i - vided into apartments with board partitions which were papered, This being the case the fire spread with great rapidity, and at one time it looked as if the whole block would be destroyed. Many of the Citizens who- had gathered turned their attention to. wairds assisting in removal of goods from the adjoiniag stores, but this was soon found to be unnecessary as, by hard work a d good ri:management on the part of the b Ado, the ' fire; was got under CoMplate control, and was confined to the building in which it origin. ated. In about an hour and a half from the time the alarm was given the flames were thoroughly quene - bed, To look at the . " � � ; � ; I �, �h ill - f e. - - .1 , ; � . '. i �, I I — , - � - - , I. : I .

Everything worked like clock work and every man was at his pofft. There was an aboonse of that excite- ment and confusion which usually character- izes occasions of this kind. Chief Cline did his part'well and proved himself the right man in the right plao, while he has just . - reason to be proud of! his man and the towns- people are proud of and grateful to the brigade which on this as on former similar occasions, have done such splendid service. Several strangers were among the spectators at the fire and some of them were heard to remark that they had never seen trained city firemen act better or more in unison than did our volunteer corps. The building destroyed belonged to the estate of the late Mr. A. Strong. There is an insurance of $1,000 on the property, but We have not heard what the intentiODS are with respect to re -building. It is, however, in the best business part of the town and will not be I allowed to remain long idle, The occupants of this building were Mr. Glenn and Mr. John Ward, saddler. Mr. Glenn lost everyv thing and had an insurance of $1,200. He estimates his total loss at about $500 over this amount. Mr. Ward's @took of harness, trunks, -etc,, was badly damaged by water, but there was nothing of importance burned. He had an insurance of $1,000 which will, probably, cover his loss. The C.P.R. ,tele- graph office, which adjoined Mr. Glenn's, had the instrument-- and all other articles re- moved from it but the loss by water and removal will be considerable, and we under- stand that Mr. Duff, the agent, did not have any insurance, These, we believe, are the principal losses. Mr. Ward had a can of coal oil and a barrel of other oil in a room behind his shop and about the centre of the building, but, fortunately, the fire did not reach this spot. Had a spark got into the open oil barrel :)r bad the fire reached this part of the building the conse- quences might have been more serious.

This action was considered necessary,.on account of -a mis- understandimg as to the figures in one of the former tenders. The committee appointed to look up a site for the town building' - re- ported having examined several sites, and recommended the Pillman and Forbes prop- erties on Main street as being the most eligible. The report -was received and its consideration deferred until the next meet- iDg of council, and the committee was in- atructed to procure definite prices for which I the Strong and Davidson properties can be purchased. The Clerk was instructed to advertise for tenders for the erection of the new addition to the water -works building for the, accommodation of the new steam pump. The tendem are to be laid before the council at its next meeting. Mr. John A. Wilson gave notice that at the next meeting of council he will move a by-law, providing that all loual improvements be made hereafter on the frontage tax principle. - — , . A SAD AND FATAL ACCIDIENT. —About * eleven o'clock Monday forenoon the people of this town were shocked and pained to hear of the death of Mr. Win. Sproat. It seems that about nine o'clock in the morn- ing Mr. S.proat hitched up to his road cart a young horse be was breaking in and started to the country. It is not exactly known the route he took, but as he was on his way home by the town line between Hullett and McKillop, and when nearly opposite the � residence of Mr. Win. McMichael, it is itip- posed thehor8e go' frightened and bolted from the road, &owing him from Itbe vehicle and killing him.instantly. The ac- cident was not witnessed by any person,but the body was found very soon afterwares, and life was extinct. It was taken to Mr. McMichael's residence, word was sent to town and Mr. M. Robertg0u, undertaker, was sint out with his hearse and brought the remains to Mr. Sproat's late residence here. -Mr. George Watt, of Hullett, was road after the accident, and he assisted in one of the first who happened along the removing the body. He made a minute ex- amination of the ground,and from the marks left he is of the opinion that the horse bolted to the side of the road against a barbed wire fence, that the wheel of the cart struck on the.emballkniont and.then on a fence post,' that the concussion caused- Mr. S lose his balance and fall forward. In the fall he must have struck his mouth on the. I top of one of the fence posts,and then bound - ad off on to the ground. Hisbat was lying � on the opposite side of the fence from the ' body. The horse ran some distance, when it got ::entangled in the -harness - 'and was stopped. There is no doubt about death having been instantaneous, as in addition to the bruises on the face by coming in contact with the post, the neck was broken. - —Mr. Sproat was born in Kirkcudbright- shire, Scotland, on the 6th of October, 1822. He was the second eldest of six brothers and the fourth oldest of the family,'a brother and two sisters being older, He came to Canada in 1842 and first settled in the county of Halton, where he worked for two years with Mr. John Sproat, a name- sake, but not a relative. Leaving Halton I he came to the county of Huron and settled on the farm on the Kippe'n road, south of Egmondville, where he continued to reside until two years ago. This county was at the time of Mr. Sproat's settlement in Tuck - er8mith a vast wilderness and his farm was unbroken bush, but Mr. Sproat possessed in an eminent degree the pluck and pergever- ance of many of the early settlers, and he soon had his bush farm converted into a comfortable and valuable homestead, A few years 'after settling in Tuckeramith he was married to Miss Margaret Gerrond, who came to this country to unite her fortunes with the choice of her youth, made in the old land, and who has continued to share his joys and sorrows until the tie was so rudely and suddenly broken on Monday last.
